Hello, i have a 17 week old that never sleeps longer than 30-45 minutes. I tried pu/pd, shushing, singing, making her fall asleep in my arms and then putting her down. Nothing works, she will just cry. She falls asleep almost by herself, we do her nap routine and then i hold her and sing to her for a bit. She is awake when i put her down and either falls asleep pretty quickly or grunts and cries for 5 mins or so but eventually still falls asleep. But then wakes up 30-45 mins latter and just cries and cries and cries. I used to be able to calm her down without picking her up couple of weeks ago, like 8 out of 10 times but now its impossible. I'm currently holding her so that she would get a little bit more sleep cause she looks exhausted. She sleeps perfectly at night, wakes up 2 times to eat, falls asleep by herself. No tears, no frustration. Should i just pick her up and let her sleep for more in my arms? I'm really out of ideas here cause she need her sleep, 30 mins is no where enough for her and i dont want to fall back into her sleeping only in my arms.
I even did her bedtime routine once cause i needed to bathe her in the middle of the day and i thought that maybe she would sleep for more... and no, she fell asleep just like during nightime but still woke up 30mins latter.
She sleeps in a very dark room swaddled, refuses paci and white noise does nothing for her as well.
And if i ever manage to resettle her she keeps waking up every 10s up to a minute, so i dont know whats happening.
